The subfamily Eupoinae Maddison, 2015 is an enigmatic group of minute leaf-litter-dwelling jumping spiders from Southeast Asia. Although previous molecular phylogenetic studies have suggested that it is one of the basal (non-salticine) lineages within jumping …
Read PDFPhyling is a fast, scalable, and user-friendly tool supporting phylogenomic reconstruction of species phylogenies directly from protein-encoded genomic data. It identifies orthologous genes by searching protein sequences against a curated set of hidden Markov model …
Read PDFTo address limited genomic resources hindering <i>Hypopterygium</i> phylogenetics/taxonomy, the chloroplast genome of <i>Hypopterygium flavolimbatum</i> Müll. Hal. (Hypopterygiaceae, Bryophyta) was sequenced. The chloroplast genome is 125,283 bp in length, comprising an 86,845 bp large single-copy region, …
Read PDFThe Chinese wingless brachypronotal pygmy grasshoppers of the subfamily Metrodorinae have often been classified within the genus <i>Macromotettixoides</i>. In this study, two undescribed species of wingless brachypronotal pygmy grasshoppers belonging to Metrodorinae were collected. To …
Read PDFOceans blanket more than two-thirds of Earth's surface, yet marine biodiversity is disproportionately concentrated in coral reefs. Investigating the origins of this exceptional diversity is crucial for predicting how reefs will respond to anthropogenic disturbances. …
Read PDFThe northern giant hornet (<i>Vespa mandarinia</i> Smith, 1852) is a dominant eusocial wasp species in East Asia; however, knowledge of organisms associated with its colonies, including parasites and other nest-associated taxa, remains limited. To address …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>The 2022 outbreak of the mpox virus (previously monkeypox virus, MPXV) in non-epidemic regions has created a global issue. The emergence of MPXV was first reported in Europe, which was described as the MPXV epicenter, …
Read PDFBACKGROUND: Rhizoma Paridis, a medicinal plant material with significant economic value, is derived from two species: Paris polyphylla var. chinensis (Pc) and var. yunnanensis (Py). However, the challenge in accurately distinguishing these two morphologically similar …
Read PDFImmense chemical diversity is one of the hallmark features of plants. This chemo-diversity is mainly underpinned by a highly complex and biodiverse biochemical machinery. Plant metabolic enzymes originated and were inherited from their eukaryotic and …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>An outbreak of multidrug-resistant <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, and Enterobacter cloacae</i> infections in a neonatal ward within a tertiary hospital in South Africa resulted in the mortality of 10 patients within six months. In this …
Read PDFAs Arctic soil ecosystems warm due to climate change, enhanced microbial activity is projected to increase the rate of soil organic matter degradation. Delineating the diversity and activity of Arctic tundra microbial communities active in …
Read PDFAnts are a globally distributed and highly diverse group of eusocial animals, playing key ecological roles in most of the world's terrestrial ecosystems. Our understanding of the processes involved in the evolution of this diverse …
Read PDFPhylogenomics has the power to uncover complex phylogenetic scenarios across the genome. In most cases, no single topology is reflected across the entire genome as the phylogenetic signal differs among genomic regions due to processes, …
Read PDF<i>Hiptage benghalensis</i> (L.) Kurz 1874, an economically significant woody liana in the Malpighiaceae family, lacks a reported chloroplast genome, hindering its phylogenetic analysis. To address this, we sequenced and assembled the complete chloroplast genome of …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>The genus Solanum is a diverse group of flowering plants with significant economic importance. Within this genus, the subgenus Leptostemonum, comprising spiny solanums, is particularly noteworthy due to its high species diversity and endemism. Solanum …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Lizardfishes (family Synodontidae) are benthic, carnivorous fishes that primarily inhabit tropical and subtropical sandy seabeds and play an important role in benthic ecosystem functioning. They are characterized by cylindrical bodies and large mouths and currently …
Read PDF<i>Lilium saccatum</i> is a species of ornamental plant found in southeastern Xizang, China. In the present study, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of <i>L. saccatum</i> was sequenced using next-generation sequencing (NGS). The <i>de novo</i> assembled …
Read PDF<i>Saussurea</i> is one of the largest and most rapidly evolving genera within the Asteraceae, comprising approximately 520 species from the Northern Hemisphere. A comprehensive infrageneric classification, supported by robust phylogenetic trees and corroborated by morphological …
